Lorenzo’s Pizzeria

Well went back after being in ny for a week had there lasanga slice and a stromboli left with a full belly they were both very good have to say they make a better pie then half the places in ny

Pizza was really fresh and flavorful. Very authentic New York style. We picked it up and it was hot and ready when we arrived. They seemed to have very good efficient service and a decent atmosphere. Not fancy at all but better than some pizza joints. One of my favorites.

This is another one of our «go-​to» places when missing home. Nothing beats a NYC pizza but since we’re not in NYC this is gonna have to do for now! It is a bit pricey for a pizza joint. The pasta dishes I’ve ordered are good! The penne alla vodka with grilled chicken or shrimp is a great comfort food on cold days. I’ve also requested Veal Francese (special request) and its been delicious!

The BEST sauce. I love chicken Parmesan and have had it many times over the years. This is my absolute favorite place to get it. The pizza is amazing too.

Really? All you people who say this is real NY Pizza… Have you ever really eaten pizza in NY??? Bland. Cheap cheese… cardboard crust.
Ridiculous.

I don’t understand how this place is still open, we tried this place for the first time tonight. There were three of us and this was a Friday evening. But was not crowded at all. My daughter ordered the pasta Alfredo, I ordered the meat lovers Pizza, my wife ordered the eggplant entrée. My daughter first got her Alfredo meal and at the same time my wife got her side for her meal. My pizza did not come out, my daughter tried the pasta Alfredo and said that she did not like it, then my wife tried it, she did not like it, and I tried it and did not like it. It tasted like milk and flour mixed together horrible sauce. My wife tried her pasta even though she was still waiting for her main dish which the waiter kept saying it will come out soon which it never did. She said the ingredients seem to be a very very low quality, and tasted as such, like something out of a can. No wonder why you have to pay for your food up front before even receiving it because it’s horrible.
This was our Friday and we wanted a nice meal as a family not watching each other eat while waiting on food.
After realizing the horrible taste of the pasta Alfredo, and the horrible taste of her spaghetti with tomato sauce, and the low quality of ingredients, and very bad cooking skills, also considering the fact that the food is actually very expensive for what you get, we realized it’s probably better just to ask for our money back and leave. We never got the pizza and eggplant meal. The waiter said he needed to call somebody first before giving our money back, turned out this was the owner who he was talking to on the phone. The owner told him not to give any money back. I could not believe this, in America you get your money back if you didn’t get what you pay for. His argument was that the food was cooked and therefore we needed to pay for it regardless if it tasted like garbage the fact that they made an effort to cook the food is what we have to pay him for. I had to make a very big scene to finally get my money back. The owner is a slime bag that’s operating a very low quality Pizzeria with no ethics and no morals. There seemed to be people that were regulars there, but I really do think there’s a lot of people that will stay at a place just cuz it’s close by and the pizza could taste like cardboard and they will still come back.
Again I just want to emphasize that the owner is a real real piece of trash and tried to slime some money away from customers hoping that we weren’t the type of people to fight for their money back.
I really believe a lot of their 5 Star reviews are from their staff that work at the place.
We will never go back there, and we will definitely recommend to everyone that we ever meet not to go there if asked for recommendations on places to eat, we live nearby.

This is second time Lorenzos has catered food for the soccer team. Everyone enjoyed the food and Steve was willing to workout a price based on my team budget. Good job all around.
Will use them whenever in town.

The pizza was delicious, the service was friendly and the kitchen was quick. Everything we asked for and while it wasn’t as good as NYC, it was the next best thing. Family of 4 ate for 25 bucks. Can’t beat it.

This place has great food & coming from NYC that’s a high bar for Italian restaurants. We’e had their eggplant, meatball, sausage, and chicken parmesan heroes… and they’ve all been very good. Pizza is thin crust, and good for the area, sicilian was ok, and their calzones are awesome. It alway has alot going on as being busy, parking isn’t always great but it’s worth the trip!

A great New York style pizza fix for the suburbs of Charlotte. Always consistent, and their plain cheese pizza is a favorite.

This is just like eating in Brooklyn, the pizza is the best and the dinners are absolutely delicious. Service is great and the prices are lower then expected for the amount and quality of the food. Our favorite pizza joint.

I called one day after searching through other reviews, wanting two small pizzas at about 3:00 on Sat afternoon. Luissa’s and Riccio’s were both not open until 5:00, so the preferred places were not available. I ordered a 10″ plain cheese pizza and one with ham and mushrooms. The guy on the phone kept pushing the gluten free, which I agreed to, not knowing it was more expensive, (coulda told me that, huh?), and the «receipt» I got didn’t have name or price listed on it when I got home and looked. A PLAIN cheese and one with ham and mushrooms, both TEN INCH pizzas, totaled over thirty dollars at the register. Just use a gun and stick me up, if robbery is your motive. $ 15.00 for a plain 10″ pizza ??? First and last opportunity to rip me off. I’ll NEVER go back.

My favorite NY style pizzeria in the Ballantyne area. Pizza is always good. Nice salads. Pasta is also very good.

Really, really, good pizza! This place is definitely our new favorite. Staff was super friendly and made us feel right at home too.

The white pizza is not good and over priced. No flavor, … I’ve eaten here twice before and it was just okay.
I tried this place for the last time last night. I won’t be back.

Grandmas pizza.
Grandmas pizza.
Grandmas pizza.
Did I say Grandmas pizza?
We love their Grandmas pizza. It’s like crack. It’s sooo good. We are from the NEast. My wife lived in NYC for many years and I lived in NYC for a few.
We then lived in St Louis where good pizza is Dominos. Don’t get me started on that crap that they call St Louis Style pizza. It’s garbage. Fake cheese flavor. Crust that tastes like a saltine with the same texture.
Rant over.
So that being said we are very critical of pizza. Lorenzo’s is right up there with the best. Although my wife likes Hawthorne’s regular pie better than Lorenzo’s. You can’t beat Lorenzo’s Grandmas pizza.

PIZZA??? CALZONE??? HahahahahhahahahhahahahhahHHhahHHhHhahha­hhahahahhahahahhahahhahahhahahahhhahahhhahahhahhah­hahahahhahahhahahhHHhahahahhHHhhahhahahhahahhahahh­ahahhhahhahahhahahhhahhahahahhahhah. Have a seat and come back to front to order???
I have an idea!!! Why not use the people who bring you the so called food out to you as waiters and waitresses to take your orders??? Hahahahahahahahahhahhahahahahahahhahahahhahahhahahahha

Whenever I order for pickup they always get it wrong. Also a little bit rude over the phone Imo. It’s just pizza not a 3 coarse meal.

When you arrive they tell you to seat yourself, take a paper menu and come back to the host station to order. Once you order you get a number and they are to bring you your food.
Once I put in my order my kids food came out within 5 minutes but i was still waiting on a sandwich. About 15 minutes later I see a woman walking around the restaurant with my sandwhih asking everyone if they ordered it. Guess she didn’t bother to match up the ticket with the number on my table. She saw that my kids were done with their meal and my was very later but she didn’t care. No one ever asked if we needed anything. Very poor customer service. Also food was bland and tasted like it was prepared at a high school cafeteria.

We decided to stop by and try the pizza here it is a good more of a traditional n. y style thin and greasy in a good way very cheesy and a pizza is almost 25. Dollars but its big …
Only thing we weren’t that impressed with was the salad but the pizza is good I’ll give it a 3
